Mets to the skull are not rare, but not very common either.
I know 2 people besides Lisa who had/have them.
When I was having my consult for Gamma Knife they sent me down for a scan of my skull to rule out any possibility of bone mets there. The reasoning was that when the headframe was attached they did not want to inadvertantly push in on an undisclosed met and crack my skull with the pressure. They were just being thorough!
